OPERATING  

INSTRUCTIONS

This  straightening  and  curling  iron  appliance

is  intended  for  household  use.  This  unit  is

designed to operate at 125/250 volts AC. Use on

Alternating Current (50/60 hertz) only.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade

is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this

plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If

the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse

the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified

electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety

feature.

DUAL VOLTAGE

This  straightening  and  curling  iron  will

automatically adjust to the proper voltage. Use

an adapter plug with correct configuration, prior

to use in outlet.

GETTING STARTED

Your new iron is a 2-in-1 split barrel iron that

can  be  used  to  curl  or  straighten.  The  iron’s

25  temperature  settings  and  Instant  Heat

60-second  heat-up  technology  combined

provide  styling  versatility  for  all  hair  textures.

If  you  have  fine  hair,  a  low  temperature  will

provide the best results. If you have thick, wavy

or hard-to-curl or straighten hair, keep the heat

setting high. You can vary the iron’s tempera-

ture according to your particular need!

To  begin,  plug  the    iron  cord  into  any  house-

hold  outlet  (125/250V).  Press  the  ON

button.  The  iron  will  heat  up  very  quick-

ly.  To  turn  off,  press  the  OFF  button  (light

will  go  off).  Never  leave  your  iron  on  and

unattended.

create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth, shin-

ing finish. Hair slips right off the barrel after 

it’s curled as well. 

The ceramic technology is a pleasure to work 

with and makes styling your hair easier and 

the results more professional.

CURLING BASICS

1. Be sure the locking mechanism on cool tip is

locked to keep barrel closed while curling.

2.  Section  dry  hair  evenly,  and  comb  each

section before winding. Pressing the automatic

curl release, place curling iron midway up the

hair section, then spread hair evenly between

spoon  and  barrel.  Release  automatic  curl

release  to  hold  hair  in  place.  Gently  slide

curling iron down to hair ends. To avoid crimped

ends, make sure they are securely wound under

the  spoon  in  the  direction  of  the  desired  curl.

Remember, always place the spoon above the

hair strand when making a curl you want rolled

under;  place  the  spoon  under  the  hair  strand

when making a flip style.

3. Wind the hair up as far as you want it curled,

being careful not to let the iron touch the scalp.

Hold  in  place  for  8-12  seconds  depending  on

the texture and length of your hair. For tighter,

bouncier  curls,  roll  less  hair.  For  looser,  free-

flowing curls, roll more hair.

4. When finished, unwind the hair and press the

automatic curl release. To set the curl, do not

comb or brush through hair until it cools.

USING  INSTANT  HEAT  &  THE  25  

VARIABLE  TEMPERATURE  SETTINGS  & 

HEAT RECOVERy SySTEM

This styling iron features Conair’s Instant Heat

technology.  It  heats  up  to  the  temperature

you’ve  selected  for  your  hair  type  in  just

60 seconds and is then ready to use.

This  Instant  Heat  technology  includes  25

variable  temperature  settings.  Every  type  of

hair,  from  the  finest  to  the  curliest  and  most

resistant,  has  a  temperature  range  that’s

gentle  and  safe,  to  help  you  create  the  look

you want.

And  that’s  not  all.  Conair’s  professional  salon

standards  of  engineering  provide  you  with  a

Uniform Heat Recovery System that maintains

the iron at constant temperatures.

There  is  a  constant  surge  of  power  to  ensure

that heat is continuously delivered for optimal

styling  results,  unlike  other  units  which

lose  heat  during  use.  This  recovery  system

provides  consistent  styling  power  so  that

every strand of your hair is set with the same

level of heat and comes out the same way for

a perfect finish.

STRAIGHTENING  WITH  THE  NEW  INSTANT 

HEAT 2-IN-1 SPLIT BARREL PLATES

The  plates  of  your  new  iron  have  an  

extra  smooth  surface,  for  maximum  

straightening performance. 

It’s not only simpler to clean off styling prod-

uct residue after each use, but you’ll also find 

that hair glides easily over the surface of the 

plates as you’re straightening. 

The ceramic surface also helps smooth down 

flyaways  and  frizzies.  As  you  smooth  each 

strand, heat is evenly distributed so that the 

style  you  create  has  a  salon-perfect,  silky 

smooth, shining finish. Hair slips right off the 

plates  after  it’s  straightened.  The  ceramic 

technology makes styling your hair easier and 

the results more professional.
